>English isn't my first language and even I know "palette" is wrong.

The "and" in your comment implies that you think that being a native speaker should make someone more accurate with this. In fact it's the opposite. It makes sense that it sticks out to you as a non native speaker. Native speakers are less sensitive to the spelling of homophones (and this is true in many languages, not just English).

Maybe they are painting the fish and find the experience unenjoyable? :)

No. Sometimes the spill checker just auto co-wrecks people.

auto-erotics ... it was sitting right there.

Perhaps a happy accident.

I'm sure you've never made a typo or mixed up two similar words before.

I'm a native English speaker and before your comment, I never noticed that palette, pallet, and palate are different words!

Comprehensive, or Grammar?
